exempt by calling what maruell if with the rest they are not to bee leuied Therefore children are not numbred nor yet women but as it is in the second and third verses though often repeated throughout the Chapter the more to condemne the blindnesse of this beetle-head Quicquid sexús est masculini à vicesimo anno suprà omnium virorum fortium ex Israel Whatsoeuer is of the male-sexe from the twentieth yeare and vpward of all the valiant men of Israel Are women and children therefore nay all vnder twentie exempt from authoritie Also Origen hom 1. in Num. finds no such mysterie but makes it a token of perfection to be numbred cum populo Dei as the Apostles and Disciples saith he whose very haires of their head were numbred c. And so likewise in the resurrection Alius saith he numerabitur in tribu Levi credo qui benè praefuit sacerdotio alius in aliâ tribu So that he makes Levi to be numbred too Lastly Ruport in his Comment vpon the place sees no other mysterie in these words saue that Clergie men should by all meanes withdraw themselues from secular affaires as the holy Canons saies he haue decreed Now that God is their portion that they may haue no foote of land in the land which is another thing that F. T. here amplifies the separation of the Leuites by though it is not vnknowne what cities the Leuites enioyed by assignement afterward yet what is that to the purpose Onely I confesse they are so much the fitter to be exempted from subiection if their lands being taken from them they haue the lesser meanes now to nourish sedition But what saies Mariana de Institit Prino l. 1 Ego volo Episcopis firmissimas arces tradi I will haue Bishops to be masters of the strongest or stateliest castles There 's a Leuite of the Iesuits or a prettie leuorite rather to sucke a Kings heart-blood in time Concerning Num. 8. I haue giuen them to Aaron and his sonnes for a gift from the midsts of the people they are giuen for seruice in the holy calling vnder Aaron not for any such dependance and obligation towards him as if thereby they were exempt from the authoritie of the Magistrate Though the Iesuite crie out here as hauing attained a conquest Not to the temporall Prince but to Aaron As if the temporall Prince had lost the Leuite after once God had giuen them to Aaron Where first I might aske him whether Aaron were exempt himselfe or no If not why the Leuites and he not if so by what gift by what donation of God For giuing them to Aaron hee left Aaron as he was for ought we read He will say Aaron was his before which I graunt for seruice but where by exemption from the ciuill Magistrate What text what euidence hath he for that And will he hold that course in making free of apprentises as to cancell the indenture or get the Masters release afore he thinke them free and not the same in disanulling subiection to a Prince Now we know how Aaron was taunted by Moses for making the calfe Which is a signe that this discharge from obedience is a fiction Neither challenge we any other supremacie of Princes ouer the Clergie saue in the like case to punish the exorbitant Besides God here giues the Leuite to Aaron as giuen to him freely by the people Quos dedistis mihi dono Aaroni v. 16. 18. See you then what the people may doe in the choice of their Minister which Bellarmine by no means can be brought to digest at his MAIESTIES hāds alledging it out of Cyprian as anciently practised here you see allowed by God himselfe in a sort that the people should offer and set apart to him their Priests And if the peoples giuing of the Leuite to God did not set them free why should Gods deliuering them backe to Aaron Is Aarons protection more soueraigne then Gods to priuiledge the Leuite Yea you inthrall the Priests to the people vnaware whiles you labour to exempt them from the Princes authoritie For you make the people the first author of their infranchizoment as giuing them to God and God to Aaron by which they hold Lastly the Leuites were giuen to Aaron as is manifest by this place onely in lieu of the first borne of the children of Israel because they by their default and odious idolatry had made themselues vnworthie to doe God seruice I demand then were the first borne exempted before or no if so by what charter for you bring no euidence but this of the Leuites Num. 8. If not how could the single putting of others in their roome to supplie for them in diuine offices affoard such priuiledge to the deputies as the originall ministers neuer enioyed But to perswade you yet more fully that no more is implied in these words then onely to put in one for the other the Leuites for the first borne that Aaron and his sonnes might not be destitute of some to serue them in their religious performances besides that the 20. verse specifies so much where the execution is described of all that is here commanded and yet it reaches no further then onely to the application of Aaron and his sons to diuine seruice together with the Leuites as Lyra well obserues without any speech of the least exemption from ciuill authoritie please you to heare your owne Doctors speake First Tostatus as the more worthie I haue read that this Tostatus emulated Turrecremata another prop of your primacie both contending at one time who should doe the Pope most seruice Though he got the Cardinalship yet you are not wont to despise the Bishop for his learning Thus he saies Tradidi eos dono Aaron filijs eius I haue giuen them for a gift to Aaron and his sonnes Id est Leuitas acceptos pro primogenitis Deus tradidit Aaron filijs suis That is God hath deliuered to Aaron and his sonnes the Leuites whome he tooke in liewe of the first borne And after more plainely Et dicitur quòd tradidit ijs dono id est donando quia deus imposuerat onus totius ministerij super Aaron filios eius Cum enim dedit ijs Leuitas vt adiuuarent ipsos dicobatur dono dare And it is said that he gaue them for a gift that is by way of gift because God laide the burden of the whole ministerie vpon Aaron and his sonnes For when hee gaue them the Leuites to helpe them he is said to giue them for a gift So againe De medio populi from the midst of the people id est dedit Leuitas Aaroni educendo cos de medio populi quasi dicat Priùs erant Leuitae sicut populares non habentes aliquam specialem dei ministrationem Posteà cùm deus fecit illos esse suos ministros dicitur separâsse illos de medio populi id est ab alijs
